Long Dog Or Lurcher?

[Richard Warwick 50]

my favorite running dog X is a Saluki Greyhound. i like thiks cross because its fas and has stamina to fill my pot with loads of bunnies. but i have friends that claim that the collie cross is the best thing since sliced bred. what are your favorite crosses and why?

Sounds like a game show question

All depends on the land you run, I think collie greyhound better for rabbits but the saluki mix better for hare. It's a case of horses for courses.

 

Different breeds all excell at different game

most of my ground is flat so that may be why i prefer my saluki X

Saluki x whippet for me because I run In a lot of small fields, like Richard Warwick said it depends on the game and type of land as to what cross to go for

Atb

my friend had a saluki whippet, it would out run anything over 150 yards but couldn't jump a 7 bar gate too well. but i think that was down to the training, how do you find your saluki Whippet?

How does that work then?

Everthing is dead on the land where ive been.Thats because ive got a Bullx

Yer he started really well he was catching on lamp straight away, he had a natural strike, but he then went off the boil and would stand and watch rabbits run off in bream then he used to run home across fields and roads, it really disheartened me to be honest, I made a decision to give him an old bloke down the road for ferreting which the dog loved but also for a bit of company but I got a phone call after a week saying he wouldn't eat and wouldn't stop whinnying, long story but I had him back and just went right back to basics and since then he is a totally different dog is the very game with loads of staminer and will try his hardest to catch the quarry, he has killed a lot of stuff last year and has done even better this year, he is a good all rounder and I am glad I got him back but he has taught me a big lesson

My Saluki cross works well, he will jump gates and fences to chase his quarry and has the stamina for a long distance coarse. he isn't as stubborn as my Bull X and is a pleasure to own. i haven't had any trouble breaking him to stock but he doesn't like the ferret at all. he is mustard on rabbits and i would definitely recommend this cross to others, but most KC reg salukis i have seen aren't as natural as the others as they're bred to have feather and not stamina

well suppose longdogs as lads have dogs with lot of coursing dogs with just bit bull or collie in its mix , near enough long dog but do very well day+night with them snoop on here does very well with his dogs, suppose it just depends what your running+where really
